    .
    In the spot market, the recent arrival of some imports has supplemented the current tight supply, the downstream receiving performance is not positive enough, the price sentiment of the holders has fallen, and the trading activity is slightly general
    .

    In terms of inventories, as of October 22, London Metal Exchange (LME) copper stocks decreased by 2,625 tons, or 134,700 tons, by 1.
    91%, and London copper registered warehouse receipts were 62,325 tons, and warehouse receipts were cancelled by 72,375 tons; As of October 24, the warehouse receipt of Shanghai copper futures in the previous period was 49,486 tons, down 2,801 tons

    Coupled with the recent arrival of some imported copper, it may supplement
    the current tight supply.

    .

    On the demand side, domestic real estate and its consumption of home appliances, home furnishings and building materials still showed a weakening trend
    .
    Coupled with the recent frequent domestic epidemics, demand has been suppressed
    .
    However, China's high import copper premium, steady demand, and beautiful development in the new energy sector have increased copper consumption, which has a certain supporting effect
    on copper prices.

    On the whole, the Fed's aggressive interest rate hike eased slightly, followed by a weakening of the dollar index and a weakening of the pressure on non-ferrous metals
    .
    But don't relax, you still need to pay attention to the macro logic and the impact of a strong dollar on commodities, and the macro pressure is far from over, the dollar is only a phased adjustment, and the market risk sentiment is still uncertain
    .
    Recently, LME copper inventories have fallen, the pressure on the copper market has eased, and the domestic copper supply is still tight, demand is firm, and copper prices are marginally rising, and China's imported copper premium is high, the development trend of new energy is beautiful, copper consumption is rising, and the bottom of copper prices is supported
    .
    As a result, copper prices continue to show high range-bound volatility, but considering that consumption is less than expected, the upside is limited
